    Description

    Critical illness in the ICU is a battle.

    It is a fight for life.

    Sedation is often given with the hopes of sparing patients the discomfort and awareness of the struggles of the ICU.
    Yet, does that ultimately prevent harm and suffering?
    Antonette Montalvo, APRN shares with us what it meant to her to be able to fight for her life with her eyes open.

    Kali Dayton, DNP, ACNP-BC, is an ICU nurse practitioner and ICU consultant. She hands the microphone to ICU survivors and bedside caregivers to reveal the realities of ICU experience and patients' journeys after discharge. The big picture of sedation and immobility is discussed and we explore how to improve short and long-term patient outcomes. We shift the vision from transferring out of the ICU to walking straight home after the ICU. www.DaytonICUconsulting.com Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/restoringlife/support
